"President, according to the feedback on the internet, we estimate that the first day's sales figures can reach at least one hundred thousand."
During the conference call, Matsuhashi reported the information she had compiled truthfully.
"Can those small retailers hold out?"
"They have no choice but to hold out. After all, they're still afraid of the compensation in the contract."
"That's good. This is our strategy. We must not release it too early, otherwise, the publicity effect will be much worse. How is the current level of anticipation among the crowd?"
Matsuhashi replied, "Overall, there are about five hundred thousand gars in the United States currently, with about ten percent of them interested in SFC. The rest are new player groups we have cultivated in various universities. The estimated sales data I ntioned is actually relatively conservative. If we are more aggressive, I think it's possible to break three hundred thousand in first-day sales."
Takayuki said, "Then stock according to a first-day sales figure of five hundred thousand. Anyway, we have sufficient supply, and rember to promise those Arican retailers that if they can't sell them, we'll buy them back at the original price, so they won't have any worries from the start."
Takayuki was really afraid that these small departnt store retailers would drop the ball at a critical mont, so he had to give them so assurance to make them feel confident about selling their products.
As long as there were sales channels, everything else would be easy to deal with.
"Understood."
At this point, Takayuki suddenly rembered sothing and asked, "Oh, by the way, is the taunting email ready?"
When Matsuhashi heard the term "taunting email," she paused for a mont, then smiled and said, "Of course it's ready. In fact, we started sending emails to the top executives of those large departnt stores yesterday, mocking them for being short-sighted and ignoring hundreds of thousands of potential custors."
"Very good. Keep it up. You don't need to report the daily sales figures to , but don't forget to send a copy to those departnt store retailers every day."
"Don't worry, President. I'll handle it beautifully!"
Matsuhashi also showed a slightly cunning smile.
This move could be considered quite disgusting.
Let those guys who look down on us see our sales figures and regret it.
Of course, the main reason was to ntally torture them and ultimately force them to co to terms, willing to accept the sales rights of Gastar Electronic Entertainnt's gas. And if they were to co knocking on the door themselves, there would have to be so additional conditions; otherwise, there would be no proactive effect.
After the conference call, Takayuki returned to supervising the production of Castlevania.
The ga was now about halfway completed.
The first generation of Castlevania in the previous life was released on FC.
But this ti, Takayuki skipped FC and chose to release it on SFC. Regardless of the graphics, ga sound effects, or ga content, they would undoubtedly have to be more substantial. So there was still a lot to do.
This ti, Takayuki planned to release the first part of Castlevania first, and then after so ti, release the story content of the second part of Castlevania as an extension of the first part. This would be equivalent to the ga's DLC, but it would be actual ga content. It would just reuse the original ga's materials to a large extent, which could greatly reduce the cost of making the ga. Of course, the price could be relatively lower as well.
The Witcher 3 in the previous life was conscientious enough to take this route and even won excellent reviews, but later, they themselves were ssed up by another ga.
In terms of sound effects, Takayuki this ti appointed a full-ti composer as the main responsible person for composing. Under Takayuki's guidance, this person would also try to make the sound effects as close to the classic sound effects of Castlevania in the previous life as possible to ensure perfection.
In movies and TV shows, excellent the songs would in turn help with the promotion of the movies and TV shows.
The sa effect applied to the music of electronic gas.
Like the enduring opening sound effect of Mario, the classic Courageous Heart the of Dragon Quest, and the Crystal Prelude of Final Fantasy, Takayuki was not stingy in this regard and provided ample ti and money.
While supervising the developnt of Castlevania on one side, on the other side, Takayuki was also paying close attention to the situation in the United States.
Street Fighter hadn't been released yet but seed to have beco a hot product that had been on sale for a long ti.
In recent tis, there had been many adults and children running to the toy section of so departnt stores, asking if Street Fighter was available.
Or asking if there were SFC and other gas.
However, the answers given by most mainstream departnt stores were very consistent.
"Sorry, we haven't heard of such a product, but if you are interested in electronic gas, you can buy our PN ga console that we are currently selling, or other Lilada 2600 ga consoles, etc."
So people who were still sowhat confused about electronic gas were naturally fooled and took out money to buy these ga consoles.
But because they hadn't experienced them before, they also played with them happily.
Except for so major departnt stores, people who asked small departnt stores received a different answer.
On February 1st, the eagerly awaited Street Fighter, Street Basketball, and SFC ga consoles would be officially released. Now we have started to accept reservations. If you make a reservation, you can also get so small gifts. The ga console is $199, and the ga is $69.9. You won't suffer losses or be deceived.
Just this reservation system alone made those small departnt store retailers who hadn't shipped yet very happy.
At least it proved that this thing was indeed very interesting. When it was officially released, there should be no problem with sales.
With Takayuki's promise to provide sufficient supply, they also opened the reservation window freely and then waited for the official shipnt.
And ti quickly ca to February 1st.
On that day, there was not the kind of situation in Japan where it was almost deserted.
After all, Gastar Electronic Entertainnt had just started to develop in the United States, so even if they promoted it vigorously, they still couldn't generate too much social response under the deliberate suppression of competitors.
However, there were still quite a few people queuing to buy on that day.
Players who had pre-ordered could pick up the ga consoles and gas directly with their reservation codes and identification.
On the other hand, there were also so custors queuing up, most of whom were university students nearby.
They were usually the kind of people who had a bit of spare money and liked to keep up with trends.
Among the crowd, there was a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, who seed a bit out of place among the young people.
His na was Wilson. After having the privilege of going on a business trip to Japan and experiencing interesting things like the red and white machine, he couldn't control himself and beca a loyal fan of ga consoles. At the sa ti, he didn't forget to buy gifts for his daughter, a brand new FC ga console and a Tamagotchi. His daughter cried a lot that day, and his wife almost beat him to death, but he was very happy in his heart.
